Hi all!

   Just a note for all of you.  There has been some talk about the
vaporware status of FullWrite.  Well, I just received an ad in the
mail advertising it to be released later this year.  They are
requesting orders for the final product at 1/2 off retail for all
FullPaint owners.  If you include your original titlepage from WORD
3.0, they will drop another $40 off, selling it at $99.  All orders
must be postmarked by July 31.

   I can read this two ways:

        1.  They expect release soon and are trying to nip the
vaporware press in the butt by giving an incredible offer up front to
get it out into the market.  Hopefully, if people are satisfied,
word-of-mouth advertising will take over.

        2.  They are hurting for bucks big time, don't want to get
stung on this, so they are trying to measure the market by tallying
responses to this ad.

   Personally, I believe #1.  I may be foolish, but I think I'll try
it.  The brochure sure does outline some really fancy features and if
valid, WORD is in serious trouble.

  Now, if someone could come out with a processor like this only with
automatic ligatures, labels/referencing and section generators...
